In 1995, SHOPA established a national foundation to assist schools and to help needy children. Manufacturers and distributors regularly donate surplus merchandise to the "Kids in Need" Centers. In addition, many of these companies donate their product at the end of the annual SHOPA trade show. The Foundation also harvests merchandise from several other trade shows throughout the year. Since 1995, the Foundation has distributed more than $120 million worth of school and office supplies to over 1,000,000 needy children in 17 metropolitan markets in the United States. The Foundation operates 11 Kids In Need Resource Centers across the United States.
